Test presses of our split 12″ with Galaxians have arrived and sound great. It’ll be a matter of weeks before they’re available… Strictly limited to 100 copies on Stargaze Records so if you want one, make sure you’re on the ball.

Next up, two trips over the Pennines. We play in a forest glade next to Lake Windermere at Fell Foot Sound Festival on Saturday 22nd September, should be more than decent – http://www.welcometofellfootsound.com

It seems that Danial Lopatin, aka Oneohetrix Point Never is only playing one UK date this year… Manchester on 13th October at the excellent Islington Mill. We’re supporting along with Tombed Visions. Facebook page is here – https://www.facebook.com/events/380225905375952 and we very much expect it to sell out so don’t dawdle. Can’t wait!

Wrapping it up, here’s news on a new live/analog techno project from two of us… CHRONONAUTZ. The first EP has gone online today. First show @ Wharf Chambers on 25th October with Galaxians and Cantaloupe.

We’re playing at BEACONS FESTIVAL this weekend. We are on the Greendales Stage at 8pm on Friday 17th August, playing alongside Julio Bashmore, Disclosure, D/R/U/G/S, Sunless 97 and our good friends Outfit. The rest of the bill looks amazing too so we’re really looking forward to spending the weekend there. It’s just been announced as sold out. Come say hi if you’re heading into the Dales for some fun!

As a preview to our show at the festival, Mixmag have just featured a remix of two of our tracks (Tranquility Base Part One and Two), which Lisbon producers PHOTONZ kindly made for us. You can download the remix for free from http://www.mixmag.net/music/mp3-blog/free-mp3-runners-beacons-preview
PHOTONZ have releases out on Dissident, Don’t Be Afraid, Unknown To The Unknown as well as their own label One Eyed Jacks and we strongly suggest that you go check them out – tasteful and varied vibes all around.

Ok. So the astute amongst you may notice that I’ve just f/d up and numbered this wrong – it should be #16. Ah well. Here’s mix #17, all collated from 7″s. In other news, we’ve just been announced for the Resident Advisor dance stage at Beacons Festival on 17-19th August – we play on the Friday. The line-up looks amazing, and it isn’t going out on a limb to say that it WILL be amazing! We also have an eye-melting new stage show, featuring hi-fi’s flying through neon cities and geometric space. If you supply dry ice, we would like sponsorship please🙂
